The twist of an ankle sent me crashing forward in space. Abigail my two year old barely awoke snuggled into my neck “safe” in my arms.

Protective reactions created within us by God dictate my arms would shoot out in front of me to protect my body. Instead, I tucked Abby in deeper and my elbows came up. Instantaneously my body moved not by my will or by my might but instantaneously. I roll to my back as I writhe in pain Abigail remained snuggled. She finally fully awoke when two of my other children ran up the stairs and began shouting, “Are you okay?”

God created all of us with protective reactions to shield our heads from trauma. My reactions of protecting Abigail went against my original creation design. After this experience, I realized God changed my original creation design from protecting me into protecting my children. He created within me new mother protective reactions.

This thought blew up in my mind. If He can create the ability within me, to do what is best for my children, without thinking, and without effort, maybe I should ask Him to do this in other areas of my life.

Lord Jesus, come in to my mother’s decisions

Lord Jesus, come in to the discipline of my children

Lord Jesus, come in to my mothering conversations

Lord Jesus, come in to my marriage

Lord Jesus, come in to my workplace

There is no place that the Lord cannot transform- no place, except that which we hold back from Him because of our own misguided will. Release your will from the areas of your life God wants to touch.

Psalm 139:7-12 (NIV)

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I release my will from every area of my life that You want access to. Please, create a switch with in my mind that my very instincts, the reactive part of my being be transformed and conformed to the mind of Christ. Align the very synapsis of my brain to the Word and Will of God so that I am unable to react in a way that deviates my actions from Christ. Let it be. Thank you, Jesus. Amen

Join me in this leap of faith- believe that Christ can do what He says.

Stop hiding and begin enjoying your freedom, bought and paid for by Christ.

Have you ever had a supernatural mother experience? I would love to hear about it.

What does it look like if you really believe? Would you leave anyone behind, to experience horrendous pain for eternity? Would you leave behind even an enemy? To be a Christian, by definition we must believe, John 3:16. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. If we deny this then we are not a Christian, we are something else. If we believe this then we acknowledge Christ as Lord and accept eternal life. We must also acknowledge then, that the unbeliever will experience eternal torture/ hell. I challenge myself and the church to began to really look like we believe. We need to grab a hold of the people that we love, that do not believe and try with all our hearts to convert them. In saying this we must also acknowledge that not everyone is won over to Christ with the same techniques. Pray for guidance and wisdom on how to save the people you love. The time is now. As in Lot’s day when the Angel of the Lord had to grab a hold of them and drag them to safety, we too must have that level of urgency. We must be willing to experience rejection and even loss of relationship in order to save. True love isn’t easy and is definitely not painless. Pray: Lord help me to love the way that You love, not with self interest and preservation in mind, but with abandonment and recklessness of heart. Jesus I whole heartedly believe that You are Christ and I fully surrender myself to you. I know that Your word is true and that your love is all encompassing. I need You Lord to grant me the wisdom to know what to say and what not to say to save ______________. ( insert specific name) I know, as I have experienced it, in my own life that when I surrender to You that sometimes I require trials to experience Your transforming love. Grant me strength, that I may endure watching_________experience trials so that You can reach and transform them. Grant me Your patience to daily ask for ______ salvation and grant me faith to wait on Your will. I ask that You give _____________divine connections, let someone enter their life that can reach them in a way that I can not. I love you God, let your will be done. Amen. Today I vow to do better. Jesus I confess I have been self centered and self absorbed. I have not loved enough to risk rejection and ridicule. Lord Jesus please forgive Heather Roberts for the sins of doubt and pride. I thank you for it, Amen.
